[QUOTE="Sitkapilgrim, post: 972899, member: 40203"] For the record , Petrer does have an albergue de peregrinos which is open and I stayed there last night. When I started in Alicante, I visited the Association office. A great time, photo op, exchange of presents (They got my American credential and a nice patch from the Anchorage Chapter of the American Friends of the Camino. I got the Spanish credential, a very heavy shell and a heavier guidebook. The guidebook produced by the Alicante folks is from 2019, is in Spanish of course, and supplements their online maps and detailed directions. Lots on ermitas, iglesias etc and brief notes on general history, and some accommodations. If it weren’t so heavy I would keep it. Maybe I will carry it until I find a post office to mail it home.) Back to the Petrer issue. I had asked at the Alicante Amigos office about Petrer and they at first insisted there was no albergue in Petrer. Then admitted there was one but they didn’t like it. Recommended hotels instead. So for several days I made phone calls to the Ayuntamiento, the local police, and a variety of numbers that were supposedly Hospitaleros. I spoke with Senora Teresa who told me I could stay in the albergue and to go the police when I got to town. Tourist office confirmed there is an open albergue. On arrival at policía local (on Avenita de la Libertad, 32, police called Israel who drove me to albergue. Great location , next to the church in center of old town, a stone’s throw from the tourist office. It is tiny. One bedroom just big enough for two beds, with sheets, pillows and blankets. No heat. Clean. 1 chair. Hot shower (Israel turned the hot water on for me.) no key, so I leave door unlatched (no security problems I was told), and close door firmly when I leave. No payment requested and I forgot to ask about a donativo. I was just so happy to have persisted in my quest for a pilgrim place in this little town, challenged as I am by my Spanish inadequacies. I thought it was a perfect place for one (or 2) people who wanted a good night’s sleep in a simple place. Nice meal in the nearby square, and very friendly. The sign above the door says Albergue de Peregrinos, though I think it is used for a variety of purposes, possibly related to Caritas, which is next door, and the church. It is essential to call one or more days in advance, as that is the first question the police asked me. The easiest way might be to call the tourist office, during their limited hours, and they may know the right hospitalero to call. Now in Villena in the Pension Casa de los Aromas, which is fine, 36 E is the reduced pilgrim price. I suspect there are cheaper places but I did not inquire. The hospitalero at Caudete is expecting me tomorrow, and the sisters in Almanza the day after. I’ll think about Alpera and Alatoz tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
